Daughter of Hermine and the Baron Danglars , Eugenie is supposed to marry Albert de Morcerf , then Andrea Cavalcanti , but she winds up running away with her musician friend to live in a romantic relationship with her.

Eugenie values her independence above all else, and she is a character who refuses some of the typical social expectations of marriage and children. Albert jokingly suggests teaching Madame Danglars a lesson by manipulating her stocks with a false news report.

Monte Cristo notices that Debray appears unsettled by this line of conversation. It is clear that Debray does, in fact, regularly abuse his government position by giving privileged information to Madame Danglars.

Monte Cristo plans to meet with two men and instructs them to play the roles he has outlined for them in return for significant monetary compensation.

Take a Study Break. Three days later, the Danglars' mansion is all aglitter with guests adorned with diamonds, rubies, and other precious stones.

At exactly nine o'clock, Monte Cristo arrives and soon after, a notary calls for the signing of the wedding contract. Baron Danglars signs, then hands the pen to the representative of Major Cavalcanti the Major himself has disappeared.

Madame Danglars sighs; she wishes that Monsieur Villefort were here, whereupon Monte Cristo steps up and says that, unfortunately, he is the cause of Villefort's absence. Andrea Cavalcanti Benedetto immediately pricks up his ears. Monte Cristo continues, and he says that the vest on the murdered Caderousse has been examined and that a piece of paper was found in one of the pockets.

It was a letter addressed to Baron Danglars. Monte Cristo speculates that the letter might have concerned a plot against Danglars, so he sent the vest and the letter to the public prosecutor, Villefort. The notary then announces that the signing of the contract will once again resume; just then, an officer and two gendarmes enter the salon and ask for Andrea Cavalcanti, "an escaped convict accused of murdering another escaped convict by the name of Caderousse.

She says that she loathes men and intends to leave Paris immediately! Then she cuts off her long black hair and dons a man's suit of clothes. Monsieur Danglars has lost his daughter. Before escaping, he detours through the room where the "wedding jewels" are on display. He seizes the most valuable ones, then he cajoles a cab driver to whisk him as fast as possible out of the city ostensibly to try and catch a friend in another carriage ; then, after he alights, he smudges dust on one side of his overcoat and asks to rent a horse his own horse threw him in the darkness, he says.

All of his plans work, and by 4 A. He is absolutely certain that no one will capture him, for he plans to depart early, travel through a forest, and then cross the French border. Unfortunately, Andrea sleeps later than he expected to — and when he peers out the window, he sees three gendarmes arriving at the inn. Hastily, he writes a note to the innkeeper, making it sound as though he had to leave in shame because he had no money. He leaves a handsome tie pin behind as payment for board and room, then he climbs up the chimney and onto the roof.

He is afraid, however, that while the gendarmes are searching the rooms in the inn, they might look out of an upper window and spy him on the roof. Thus, he slips down a chimney where there is no smoke. Imagine his surprise, when he drops down the chimney and onto the hearth of a bedroom — and two young ladies rise up out of their bed and scream for help.

Andrea is taken back to Paris and imprisoned. Back at the Villefort residence, Valentine has still not recovered. She seems to see phantoms in her fevered, delirious state. One night in particular, she seems to see a human figure approaching her bed; the figure takes her drinking glass, samples the contents, then speaks: "Now you may drink.

He explains to her that he has been keeping guard over her, ascertaining who has come into her room, what food has been prepared for her, and what liquids Valentine has been given to drink.

He says that, just now, he emptied the glass by her bed — which was filled with poison — and refilled it with a therapeutic potion. Valentine is confused and distraught: Monre Cristo obviously knows who her poisoner is. He does indeed, and he tells Valentine to pretend that she is asleep and she will see for herself who is trying to murder her. Then Monte Cristo hides. Madame de Villefort, Valentine's twenty-five-year-old stepmother enters; she empties a flask into Valentine's glass, then silently withdraws.

Valentine is dazed with horror and disbelief, as Monte Cristo explains Madame de Villefort's motives: When Valentine is dead, he says, the huge fortune that was to be Valentine's inheritance will revert to her father Villefort , who will leave it all to Edouard — the one true love in Madame de Villefort's life.

Valentine can scarcely believe that her stepmother is so diabolical, so she asks the Count what she must do. He tells her that "no matter what happens. Valentine gradually falls asleep, looking like "an angel lying at the foot of the lord. In the morning, a nurse enters and shrieks. Seemingly, Valentine is dead. Villefort enters and sinks to the floor, his head on Valentine's bed.

Madame de Villefort arrives and is speechless. She is sure that the glass by Valentine's bed was empty, but now it is one-third full!
